God Knows Lyrics

Time's ticking, you should just get up on the side
And cheer along like
My mind's been tainted by your cunning smile
And your bright side down low

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

In the waking of a ruined mess
With streets depressed light
Your dimes in prison lost the girl you kissed
And the wells missed at home

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
Into the light, into the light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

Time's ticking, you should just get up on the side
And cheer along like
My mind's been tainted by your cunning smile
And your bright side down low

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

In the waking of a ruined mess
With streets depressed light
Your dimes in prison lost the girl you kissed
And the wells missed at home

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

And God knows if you're ever going to show
They know that it's dark and there's no light
There's no light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
Into the light, into the light

All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there
All I want is to lead you there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
